Terrible Payment System

[Niyariko]

I wonder how many players are forced to quit due to the terrible payment system after Jan 6th!? Lol I'm surprised they haven't come up with better options like direct payment before officially announce charging us. SE really have the guts doing so.

You said it. Although the German rep has said they're still coming, this was not a very good PR move... and heightens scepticism that those alternative billing methods are indeed on the horizon.

Hi guys, OP back!

So... we were supposed to get more options, presumably in Oct-Nov...........

So it's almost Jan, and the game is going pay to play..........................

Not that I'm going to pay until 2.0 anyway, but for those of you that are, I'm concerned that you're stuck with this convoluted payment system (if you're even in a region that can pay at all!).

Where was it stated that it wouldn't be active by time they start payment?

Where was it definitively stated that it would...?

People seem to be under the assumption it wouldn't be active by time payment for XIV goes live, despite it never being stated as such.

Considering the game and company we're talking about, I think skepticism is expected.

As much as I'd prefer not to, I'd have to agree after the way the topic had to be pulled through the mud by the XI community.

I'm concerned people will be forced to voice their opinions with their wallets and allow their accounts to be suspended when billing starts without being renewed until the new billing method exists, if that is the only way to show the team how serious the matter is.

Some people, mostly fanbois, the uninitiated and the truly naive, seem to be under the impression SE won't or hasn't slapped their customers in the face with tyrannical policy change..

XI players were firmly under the impression they wouldn't be forced to C&B/Crysta when SE announced it was trolling the entire non-Nippon world, and look what they're doing now..?

We were given a "We are pretending to look into alternate payment methods" handjob, and nothing ever came of it.

So I'm hoping that MAYBE the SE higher ups just have some personal vendetta against XI players, and that Yoshi-P's eloquently laid out ambitions to "rebuild trust" hold true for XIV players.
